brit... i agree, up to some point society might have an influence on some individuals.. but only if these individuals already HAVE it in their blood(or body, or wherever).. ok. it's like a singer. One has a talent to become a best singer ever... he might be a taxi driver all his life, and never discover his talent....or opposit, no matter how much you push one to learn something, it just doesn't work, because the "seed" is not there... or like some people start painting in the later age, under certain circumstances... so of course to develop certain qualities you have to be placed into the certain ground to enable to grow... some do develop it, some don't.. But the bottomline is it is already IN YOU, in your blood... otherwise it will never give fruits..
